Nokia Lumia 610 does not run Angry Birds, insufficient RAM to blame

0.phoneArena28 May 2012, 06:18posted on

Last week, Skype for Windows Phone was made unavailable to Nokia Lumia 610 users due to insufficient RAM, and now we have Angry Birds, Tango, and PES2012 joining the list. More than 256MB of RAM are required...

It also runs fine on my Droid 1....with a 500Mhz cpu and same amount of Ram...

Angry Birds Space...that might be a different story...lol.

What may be overlooked is that Angry Birds was a port from iOS. That had a gpu in the same family as the one in the Droid 1. Both had a PowerVR gpu.

At first, on Sense UI Android phones, Angry Birds had issues. And thats phones with 1Ghz cpu and 512MB Ram. It needed to be "optimized" for Sanpdragon. Angry Birds didnt need to be optimized for my Droid X1 with MotoBlur. It just ran even better vs. the Droid 1....more up to date hardware.

Microsoft might wanna go with different or more current hardware for their hardware baseline. Said this when WP7 launched....

If you make comaparation of that kind.. then Nokia N8 with 256MB ram and 680MHz can play Angy Birds so smooth that you can only dream of! :) so , don't put that conversation to the table :) It's simple, Rovio and SKYPE should make optimisation of the software.

Even the s40 phones can play it smoothly, not to mention the age old Nokia 5800 XpressMusic which had the really old 400mhz processor with RAM being even less than 256mb and with nHD resolution can play it smoothly without any problem then why the hell this normal spec'd phone can't play it.

WHAT THE..just when I thought WP couldn't get any lower.
256mb of RAM is enough to push full blown pc games, for fu!k sake!
I remember playing nfs underground 2, cod 2, half life on my 256mb pc!
IOS and androids and symbian 256mb RAM devices can run games like NOVA, galaxy on fire, asphalt, shadowgun...etc etc.
Angry birds?!?!!!
You gotta be kidding me.
Epic fail is a mild expression for this..

Not. gonna happen. Windows will have to spend a little more on ram, if they plan on running decent apps. With high end phones switching to 2 gigs in the near future. All windows phones should have more than a quarter gig of ram. It's not that expensive.
